We know that, just like us, you love our local small businesses. Here are ways that you can support them all year long:

Write a review. Writing reviews helps increase presence online, drive traffic to the businesses’ website and give prospective customers a better idea of what the small business is all about.

Utilize social media. Snap a photo and show a small business some love on platforms like Instagram or Facebook. Be sure to tag them, and tag us (@carteret.curated)! We’d love to help spread the love, too.

Text or email your group threads. Did you recently have a great experience or find an awesome product at a local business? Shout it from the rooftops! Send your friends, family or coworkers to your favorite spots.

Shop with them. Purchasing an item, service or gift card is a fantastic way to support your favorite local business, making sure that they are able to serve the community for years to come!

Send a note to the owner. Personally reaching out to a business owner with an email, direct message or handwritten note and letting them know why you appreciate them and their contributions to our community means the world.
